Captain Michael Clarke became the first man in Test history to score four double centuries in a calendar year as Australia produced a dominant performance on day one of the second Test against South Africa in Adelaide.
Clarke, who hit 259 not out in the drawn series opener, finished the day unbeaten on 224 from 243 deliveries, with 39 4s and one 6. Australia's total after 86.5 overs was an imposing 482 for five, with opener David Warner (119) and veteran Michael Hussey (103) also compiling centuries and hitting four 6s apiece.
